Women like men who look good. Men who lift weights usually look more attractive than someone who has a “runners” body. (Skinny and not muscular) Some runners will look jacked but that’s probably due to steroids and/or weightlifting. Running alone doesn’t give one bulging biceps or a large chest.

Men describing what they think women want physically usually reads like someone describing a Tom of Finland drawing. I agree that people generally prefer a physically fit partner.

  Are you really going to say that most women yearn for a man who has a body that looks like Kipchoge?

    Probably <1% of American men look like Kipchoge. The average runner is just going to be healthier than the average American, not jacked to the point of uncanniness. This is also true for weightlifters.

      My point stands. Someone who is not on steroids and is closer in looks to Sam Sulek than Kipchoge will have more success. There’s enough studies out there on this that I shouldn’t have to even be saying this. Most women like strong looking men and not flyweights.

        I don't think you read my comment. Not sure what bone you have to pick with running. Weightlifting and cardio are not political parties. I shouldn't have to even be saying this.

        do you think that run clubs are full of flyweights or Olympic distance runners? you'd have a point if half these run clubs weren't full of weightlifters trying to get women by talking to them on a 2-miler

        If your goal is to improve your looks and be attractive to women - it's about weightlifting. I know a ton of runners who also lift weights. The point is that you need to be lifting weights if you're a man and wanting to attract most women. It's not rocket science. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWC8_vp-bWI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWC8_vp-bWI
